Transport

Electrical power is an integral part of the transport segment and its importance will grow in subsequent years.

New technologies such as autonomous systems, e-mobility, sensoring, and augmented reality will completely reshape the entire car market and cars themselves in the years to come. The trend is already visible – in current cars electronics account for up to 18 % of a car’s value with a minimum of 25 kg of cabling for every ton of car, and this ratio is expected to gradually grow. Together with growing requirements for safety, the rising requirements for T3, T4 XLPE-based and HFFR-based cables are expected to be reflected in the prices.

Usage of LSF0H/HFFR in railway applications is already a hot topic nowadays to pass specifications in order to save lives.

Therefore, SILON’s activities will cover solutions for upcoming cable products and will comply with the current standards and requirements of ISO 6722 in automotive under-the-hood applications and EN 45545 in railway cabin & safety applications.
